Step 10: Set up Hardware Configuration in VersaPro
Once a successful syntax check is completed for the local logic and motion programs, we need to
set up the hardware configuration that will allow the example program to be downloaded to the
DSM314 module. The sequence of steps in this example is not typical for most installations. Most
users will first set up their hardware configuration and then generate the programming statements.
However, the example is aimed at illustrating the CAM feature. Therefore, the order is reversed to
better illustrate the link between hardware configuration and the CAM block name in the DSM314
hardware configuration. The next step in our example is to start the hardware configuration. There
are multiple ways to do this. Two methods are presented here (consult VersaPro documentation for
additional details). To perform these steps either (1) access the View selection from the main menu
and then select Hardware Configuration or (2) click the Hardware Configuration toolbar icon. This
will launch the Hardware configuration tool. The default hardware configuration screens are for
the VersaMax product. Therefore, the first operation we need to perform is to select the Series 90-
30. To perform this action, select File from the main menu, Convert T
o from the File menu, and
Series 90-30 from the Convert To menu, as shown in Figure 16-27.
